This is true for my Gentoo buildbots. Once we've figured out the
best way to handle this, I'll fix that (install the other locales) for
my two.

I get null as the final output of that regardless of whether I use
'tr_TR' or 'tr_TR.utf8'.
This is with glibc-2.13-r2 (the r2 is Gentoo's mod number).
I'll attach this to the bug report, too, perhaps the discussion should
move there.
